The Journal of Sir Walter Scott by Walter Scott
"The Journal of Sir Walter Scott" by Walter Scott is a diary kept between 1825 and 1832. It chronicles Scott's catastrophic financial collapse in 1826 and his heroic seven-year struggle to write his way out of debt totaling over £125,000. Through personal tragedies, declining health, and relentless work, Scott records his race against time with unflinching honesty. Critics have hailed it as one of the finest diaries in English literature—a candid self-portrait
revealing both the greatness and vulnerability of a literary giant. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
